WWII Vets Tear Down Barriers Surrounding War Memorial

by Noah Rothman / Mediaite

 

On Tuesday, World War II veterans stormed what may be their last barrier – one erected by the American government. A group of WWII veterans from Mississippi tore down the barriers to the World War II Memorial set up by the Federal Parks Department and staged a protest.

UPDATE: Police have cleared out the WWII memorial and forced the veterans who illegally accessed the site to disperse.
